It's officially known as a report on the "Measurement of the Duration of a Trendless Subsample in a Global Climate Time Series." In lay-speak, it's a study of just how long the current pause in global warming has lasted. And the results are profound:
According to Canadian Ross McKitrick, a professor of environmental economics who wrote the paper for the Open Journal of Statistics, "I make the duration out to be 19 years at the surface and 16 to 26 years in the lower troposphere depending on the data set used."
In still plainer English, McKitrick has crunched the numbers from all the major weather organizations in the world and has found that there has been no overall warming at the Earth's surface since 1995 - that's 19 years in all.
During the past two decades, there have been hotter years and colder years, but on the whole the world's temperatures have not been rising. Despite a 13 per cent rise in carbon dioxide levels over the period, the average global temperature is the same today as it was almost 20 years ago.
In the lower atmosphere, there has been no warming for somewhere between 16 and 26 years, depending on which weather organization's records are used.
Not a single one of the world's major meteorological organizations - including the ones the United Nations relies on for its hysterical, the-skies-are-on-fire predictions of environmental apocalypse - shows atmospheric warming for at least the last 16 years. And some show no warming for the past quarter century.
This might be less significant if some of the major temperature records showed warming and some did not. But they all show no warming.
Even the records maintained by devoted eco-alarmists, such as the United Kingdom's Hadley Centre, show no appreciable warming since the mid-1990s.
Despite continued cymbal-crashing propaganda from environmentalists and politicians who insist humankind is approaching a critical climate-change tipping point, there is no real evidence this is true.
There are no more hurricanes than usual, no more typhoons or tornadoes, floods or droughts. What there is, is more media coverage more often.
Forty years ago when a tropical storm wiped out villages on a South Pacific Island there might have been pictures in the newspaper days or weeks later, then nothing more. Now there is live television coverage hours after the fact and for weeks afterwards.
That creates the impression storms are worse than they used to be, even though statistically they are not.
While the UN's official climate-scare mouthpiece, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has acknowledged the lack of warming over the past two decades, it has done so very quietly. What's more, it has not permitted the facts to get in the way of its continued insistence that the world is going to hell in a hand basket soon unless modern economies are crippled and more decision-making power is turned over to the UN and to national bureaucrats and environmental activists.
Later this month in New York, the UN will hold a climate summit including many of the world's leaders. So frantic are UN bureaucrats to keep the climate scare alive they have begun a worldwide search for what they themselves call a climate-change "Malala."
That's a reference to Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban after demanding an education. Her wounding sparked a renewed, worldwide concern for women's rights.
The new climate spokeswoman must be a female under 30, come from a poor country and have been the victim of a natural disaster.
If the facts surrounding climate-disaster predictions weren't falling apart, the UN wouldn't such need a sympathetic new face of fear.

The world's most beautiful sustainable font
Too bad he didn't use his Ryman Eco font on his arms and save some ink there.
The world's most beautiful sustainable font
I'd hate to burst his bubble, but this "eco" mode could be done (maybe it is already?) programmatically for ALL FONTS.
And words already take up very small percentage of coverage on your average sheet of paper. So saving 33% of 5% isn't that much.
Yes, it's an artistic font, but you do much more to save the planet by buying hax0red printers with huge user-refillable ink storage.

Sen. Whitehouse debunks climate change myths
@Trancecoach Lets take a HUGE leap and say everything in that article is 100% true...
6 of 7 !!!!
http://fortune.com/global500/bp-6/?iid=G500_lp_toprr
How do you reconcile that with the fact that 6 of the worlds 7 most profitable companies are energy corps? TRILLIONS of revenue and hundreds of billions in profit, to say nothing of the track record for that particular industry, and yet THEY are the victims of some 'eco-friendly' conspiracy....
Just a few headlines from that 'source'
Group Claims 80% of U.S. Population Growth Is From Immigration
Globalists Push EU-style “Union” for Middle East
University Fires Scientist After Discovery Challenges Dinosaur Theory
That last one was my favorite... his 'theory' was thousands of years old... not millions.
I just don't understand how you can think that the power to influence public debate through politics and the media of pro green energy groups can compare to that of the size and influence of the old energy sector.
Green energy is a cottage industry compared to old energy. The power of environmentalists and even a few activist minded billionaires would pale to the spending power and incentive to act of old energy companies.
Surely if you're concerned about money muddying the debate, the first group you would focus on is the ones with disproportionately more money?
Also your arguments I've seen previously echo the tobacco / lung cancer debate. Aren't you concerned you're being duped by these supposedly authoritative blogs?

Note that the F1 car here still had a proper V8 engine instead of whatever tree-hugging eco hippy V6 lawnmower engines they have these days

Her Neighbor got a New Car - It Blows Flames.
Hmmm, one wonders just who would be the type to call the cops on this 'scorge of the neighborhood'?....This contraption is only a problem if someone complains, it's most-likely not run much in the neighborhood and the guy probably has neighbors that know he's there and tinkering with his toys-
Now, accentuating exhaust on a car designed to run whisper-quiet like some rice-wine burner eco-car, just to impress ones shriveled balls and damaged ego?....
Silly-as-shit, you complete wanker.
Solar FREAKIN' Roadways!
Progress has a sense of humor. Awesome. Of course these guys would like to see every square foot of north american asphalt replaced with this stuff, but I think that they are smart enough to know that that isn't going to happen any time soon.
What could happen, however, is that we all gradually adopt the technology. First we start with with the densely wealthy liberal eco-conscious places that have a cultural incentive to swallow the initial economic hurdles and lower overall manufacturing costs to a point where it starts to make sense to the wealthy conservative gas guzzling folks, and then slowly expand from there.
The concept is sound. At some point the hardware might just become cheap enough to be viable - it's an option worth exploring, at the very least.
And if you think that making really long roadways out of relatively expensive tiles is impossible, try telling that to the ancient Romans.
Power Japan Plus - Dual Carbon Battery
But didn't the video say the 'electrolyte' was still made of lithium ions? Maybe I missed something?
I want it to be a real, cheap, stable, eco-friendly, powerful battery, but I have to wait to see it for sale and in action first.
If this is for real...
FINALFUCKINGLY!
It always blows my mind that in 2014 with all our technology we still don't have any newer battery technology than lithium ion and nickel cadmium.
